New York Abortion Clinic Closes Today; Was site of 40 Days for Life Vigil
WASHINGTON, DC - "We rejoice with pro-lifers in Rockland County, New York
today," said David Bereit, national campaign director of 40 Days for Life,
"as they celebrate the closing of an abortion facility that was responsible
for ending the lives of untold numbers of innocent unborn children over its
many years of operation. The unceasing prayers of these faithful people have
been answered."
Abortion Services at 200 East Eckerson Road in New City, N.Y., was one of
more than 50 clinics across the nation where 40 Days for Life prayer vigils
were conducted this spring. "My family and I visited that particular clinic
vigil on a snowy night earlier this year," said Bereit. "My wife and
children were photographed alongside a young man who carried a sign reading,
'Nothing is impossible with God.' That is certainly the case here. The
prayerful efforts of many pro-lifers over the years have won this victory.
We are humbled to know that people participating in the 40 Days for Life
campaign may have played a role in the peaceful closure of this abortion
center."
Bereit said there are also reports that two Planned Parenthood locations
where 40 Days for Life prayer vigils were held have stopped performing
abortions. One is in Lincoln, Nebraska and the other is in Council Bluffs,
Iowa. In both cases the cessation of abortions was unexpected. "40 Days for
Life leaders in both cities are unsure of the reason," said Bereit, "but
they suspect it is because no abortionist is available since both facilities
previously shared the same abortionist. We also know that in Lincoln, at
least one mother decided against abortion after learning Planned Parenthood
was no longer providing them. She took that as a sign from God that her baby
was meant to live."
In addition, local 40 Days for Life leaders are reporting that a number of
children saved from abortion during 40 Days for Life campaigns have now been
born. "In just the past few days, we've heard from 40 Days for Life groups
in Greenville, South Carolina; Providence, Rhode Island and Sacramento,
California," said Bereit.
"The births of these children are among the most awesome blessings people
have witnessed because of the prayerful outreach of 40 Days for Life. As we
talk with more people around the country, we're confident we will hear more
such stories of God's action in our midst."
40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that features 40 days of
prayer and fasting, constant peaceful vigil outside an abortion facility and
intense public outreach. Plans are now under way for another round of
concurrent 40 Days for Life campaigns this fall. These events will be
conducted from September 24 through November 2.

For a sufficiently long period of End.
If it doesn't happen today, there's always next year.

Kinda like the Great Wall.
Don Homuth
Not really. As someone else noted in that discussion, the Great Wall
(which was not one entire Wall at any point -- it was disjointed and
easily gotten around) was less important than the large Army stationed
behind it.
NTM the lack of a credible opposition force for centuries. No outside
group ever got its act together. They acted more like bandit bands
than anything else.
But one the Mongols became a credible opposition, The Wall was no real
barrier at all.
That's the problem with Walls and History. People think they actually
work.

The Maginot Line worked quite well, thank you.
The failure was in other areas.
Peace and justice,

"And over 4,000 Americans have paid with their lives for that little

You might compare that with the number of lives lost on 9-11. Or the
economic injury incurred from that event.
It would have been cheaper in both lives and money to just suffer
another 9-11 every six or seven years.
Peace and justice,"

That was ME, Dondi. You just didn't understand any of it.

It's generally believed that China began to build the Great Wall
during the Spring and Autumn Periods when the country was in a great
chaos, with rival states fighting for territory and power. to protect
their states and people, independent walls were successively built
along their states' borders by those states. However, it's not until
the Qin Dynasty after the country was unified by Qinshihuang, did the
mass construction of the Great Wall took place....
The construction of the Great wall had never ceased for nearly all the
Chinese fuadal dynasties. The smaller and less powerful dynasties of
North Wei, North Qi, East Wei and North Zhou all spent a lot on the
Great Wall. The Shui Dynasty rebuilt the Wall for 6 times while its
following dynasty of Tang, the culmination of China's feudal age,
never built the Great wall owing to its superior power and advantage
over its northern nomad neighbors. Song Dynasty had the history of
building Great Wall against the invasions of Liao, Xixia and Jing in
the north and northwest. The Jing Great wall, 5, 000 kilometers long,
is the longest among those built by a government of minority ethnic
people. And the vast Empire of Yuan did not have a history of building
the Great Wall.

Can you Read a map, Spammy?
Some more maps of the several sections of the Great Wall are here:
http://www.chinahighlights.com/greatwall/greatwallmap.htm
Then there's:
http://www.kinabaloo.com/great_wall.html
...The last dynasty to build a northern wall was the Ming Dynasty
(1368-1644). This dynasty built the biggest, longest, strongest and
most ornate Great Wall ever. These are the walls that we are familiar
with today....
(Now lemmee see here -- 2,000 years, starting in 1368 would take us
to....?)
But as I also said, the Great Wall eventually didn't really matter.
...The last Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was a military
fortification of great strength. However, historians are sometimes
dismissive of its net value. It was astonishingly expensive to build,
maintain and garrison and the resources the Ming spent on the Great
Wall could have been spent on other military capabilities. The fact
remains that the Great Wall was of no help in preventing the fall of
the Ming Dynasty.
However, only because the currently prevailing dynasty had weakened
from within were invaders from the north able to advance and then
conquer. Both the Mongols (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368) and the
Manchurians (Qing Dynasty, 1644-1911) were able take power not because
of a weakness in the Great Wall but because of a weakness in the
government. They took advantage of disenchantment and rebellion and
stepped into the void of power without an extended war....

...
Arthur Waldron certainly does not deny that the various walls which
form parts of the Great Wall story testify to remarkable building
programs undertaken by ancient Chinese ruling dynasties; he merely
points out that the story has many breaks and gaps, and that the
notion of a constant Great Wall is mythic, Chinese and non-Chinese
alike being complicit in the generation of historiographies built
around this construction.....
...Like Arthur Waldron and Luo Zhewen, most serious Chinese Great Wall
scholars know only too well that the notion of a single, unchanging
Great Wall of China is erroneous. Jing Ai, an archaeologist from the
Chinese Academy of Cultural Relics, has also lashed out at the ongoing
conflation of the Great Wall myth by scholars who serve the interests
of tourism by fancifully adding to the length and antiquity of the
Great Wall....
What seems quite clearly to have happened is that a number of separate
warlords and "states" build fortifications here and there, some of
which stretched for a considerable distance. The current trend seems
to favor including Each of these separate constructions into one Great
Wall. But that really was not the case historically. The attempt to
guild a Great Wall Myth for tourism purposes seems, however, to be
quite successful -- especially amongst Certain Folks hereon.
But sensible readers of History won't buy it. It's just marketing.
